A. This sounds like alot of fun! Couscous is very easy, cheap and from Morocco. You can buy boxes of instant couscous in any large grocery store, it's usually near the rice or pasta. They also sell instant couscous at Target & Walmart (their own brands are a little cheaper). You basically boil water or stock, pour over the couscous, cover tightly with platstic wrap for about 5-6 minutes and boom --- you're done! Then you can add whatever spices, herbs, veggies, nuts, dried fruits... Lots of recipes links: *** Another very easy & inexpensive dish is Jollof Rice (Nigeria): Jollof Rice recipes:

A. Yes, I have eaten Nigerian food many times. It was quite yummy, when it is made properly. Edit; I'm probably butchering the names horribly... I've had a lot of the white rice with many stews. I've had something that was a bit like Fufu with the stews also. I've tasted some sort of red stew, I think it consists of peppers tomatoes, and some seasonings. I Googled it. I've had jollof rice, along with some red stew and white rice and okro stew before. It had many spices, and the flavor was always rich and delicious. (: BQ; Yes, sure.

What makes a dish typically South African?
Q. People ask me what South African cuisine is and I usually answer with examples of Cape Malay cuisine. What do you define as being typically South African?
Asked by so - Fri Apr 17 11:07:59 2009 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You would be right, some of the food comes from Malay tradition e.g. babotie. "Potjie kos" is a certain meal made in a pot. It's a stew or soup with meat and vegetables, not sure exactly. There is also "mieliepap" or simply "pap". Kind of a plain, staple food. The South African barbecue is the "braai" which has to do with style of cooking, the sauces, choice of meat etc. Though not full dishes, typical traditional Afrikaans/boer/farmer food includes: biltong (like beef jerkey) boerewors (sausage) droewors (dried sausage sticks) melktert (milktart) The biltong, boerewors or droewors could be beef, but springbok and ostrich are also tast ingredients. Also koeksister, which is nice. I live in South Africa and went to a South African… [cont.]

Q. Am I correct in the thinking that you don't use flatware but your hands to consume your food? I've actually never had any type of African cuisine, sad I know.

A. Use your RIGHT hand (your left hand is for "something else"), and tear small pieces of the injera (flat bread) that comes with your meal off, then use the bread to pick up a little of ht be small if each dish and pop it in your mouth. Try a little of everything! It's all good. Typically, a large piece of injera will be served on a metal tray the same size, and little heaps of various dishes will be piled on the injera. Usually one tray serves everyone at any particular table, it might be small if there are only two of you, or enormous if there are 8 or 10. My favourite is "Dora Wat", a spicy sauce with chicken pieces and hard-boiled eggs in it!

A. South African traditions are for tolerance, which is why a vast array of religions and sects are able to peacefully practice their ways. Their beliefs include all the major international Judea-Christian faiths, Hinduism and Buddhism. But the largest following is reserved for the African Independent Churches. Each religion have different beliefs. Everyone around the world follows their own religion. For example the Christians/Catholics believe in God. Here are the food people eat in South Africa.

A. It's a big continent and it really varies depending on the region. North African food is similar to Middle East - dominated by wheat products (couscous), chickpeas and other beans, rice, lamb and chicken. Equatorial and West Africa features fish, cassava, yams, rice, tomatoes, okra and peanuts. They have 'fufu', which are boiled dough balls made from cassava or yams - I forget which. They are served with fish stew or peanut stew. East Africa (Ethiopia) - kinda similar to North African but more spicy and injera bread is the staple there.

Q. I have a project for school to make a traditional African cuisine that I can serve to my class of thirty people. I have tried to find something on my own on the internet, but all that has come up so far are full, family-sized dinners.

A. About African Food Many have wondered: What do Africans eat and what does traditional African food looks like? African foods are plentiful and varied. Rich in dietary fiber and often organic, they present a healthy choice when eaten in the right combination. African food recipes are centered round a list of ingredients easily found all over the continent. These are natural unrefined food items,easily grown at subsistence farms not far away from home. In the whole of sub Saharan Africa, from Dakar (Senegal) to Dar es Salam (Tanzania), southwards to Cape Town (South Africa), most foods from Africa are based on common foodstuffs like cassava, yam, cocoyam, rice, beans, maize, sorghum, millet, groundnut, coconut, plantain, melons, sea foods, [cont.]

Q. Italian cuisine has evolved extensively over the centuries. Although the country known as Italy today had not officially formed until the 19th century, the cuisine can claim roots going back as far as 4th century BC. Through various influences throughout the centuries, including neighboring regions, conquerors, high-profile chefs, political upheavals as well as the discovery of the New World, a concrete cuisine has formed to what is known today as one of the premiere cuisines in the world. The Italian we hear was not commonly spoken by a majority of the population until after World War II, and Italians still identify themselves regionally before all else.
